Cache CoeurSome of the articles of interest to working mothers that we’ve seen around the web recently…

  • Pregnant Fashionista recommends a source of reasonably-priced maternity swimwear, Cache Coeur.
  • Wondering what to wear when not at work? Ain’t No Mom Jeans pulls together a seasonless capsule starter wardrobe for moms.
  • The Washington Post’s On Leadership blog discusses a study that looked at flexible work arrangements and their benefits. (You can probably guess what the researchers found.)
  • This needs to be a longer discussion here, so stay tuned — but check out this BigLaw partner’s message of “it gets better” to parents of young kids everywhere (at Above the Law).
  • After looking at factors such as quality of childcare, work/life balance, and the gender pay gap, WalletHub recently published a list of the best/worst states for working moms. The Balancing Act column in the Chicago Tribune criticizes the study for focusing only on moms and not dads. How did your state do? And what’s your take on Heidi Stevens’ column?
  • Scary Mommy explains some key mom tricks to have up your sleeve (some language NSFW).
  • Forbes rounds up some money lessons to teach your daughters.
  • Working Moms Against Guilt wonders if it’s ever ok to comment on the parenting choices of others.
